 |
|
Hi
I suck at Dark Souls but I wanted to play through the story and try all the mechanics. When I was running Windows 7 I was able to use a .CT file by TechnoJacker which worked perfectly. I could modify stats and change items. Then I didn't play for a while and upgraded to Windows 10. Now when I open the same .CT file I get 100% CPU usage (on one core) if I click "Yes" to run LUA scripts on start-up. If I click "No" then I'm able to edit some of the basic stats like HP but when I click the item editor then it gives an error about running the LUA script.
How can I debug the problem? Is there a way to check what part of the LUA script is causing CE to lock up?
I don't understand why it worked fine before and now doesn't work anymore. I have tried downloading a few other files where people have modified TechnoJacker's original but they all have exactly the same problem.

odds are it is the sleep, it was written for one kernel call and being executed on a different one.
Copy and paste the lua and the guys who know how to change the sleep will tell you.

I'm going to attach the CT file because I'm not 100% sure what exactly someone would want to look at.

that file has too many lines of code for me to evaluate voluntarily:
Maybe you could try lengthening this interval at the top of the lua file
| Code: | --show main window
ShowMainWindowTimer = createTimer(nil,false)
timer_setInterval(ShowMainWindowTimer, 1)
timer_onTimer(ShowMainWindowTimer, function (sender)
object_destroy(sender)
control_setVisible(controlMainForm,true) -- set visible
form_setMenu(controlMainForm,nil) -- hide menu
end)
timer_setEnabled(ShowMainWindowTimer, true)
--end
--]] |
change the value 1, to something like 50, or 100. It will slow w/e this main window timer is down, but if it is the problem it will give you some of your cpu cycles back.

also, if you accidentally upgraded dark souls (e.g an autoupdate) it will also break

Maybe it was auto-updated at some point and now the cheat is only half-working...
cooleko, I tried setting that interval longer, which didn't seem to help, so I commented out the whole section and when I tried again, the CPU usage eventually went down to reasonable levels. I'm not sure what's going on exactly, maybe it takes a while to warm up. I'll maybe mess around with it more tomorrow. Thanks for the help
